true that to introduce a method of calculs tion in accordance with the relative size of the population defended, the British Empire with its 400,000,000 of inhabitants would need forces six and a half times, the strength of Germany's; but the use of that method of calculation would, at the same time, imply that the cost of mairt nauce would be distributed according dresses with communications adire to theto population The object of the petitioners Editer, not for publication but “as evidence of goop evidently is not to preach either of these things, but simply to show that the cost, of armamenta to the 40,000,000 inhabitants of the United Kingdom has been growing enormously--and there is every likelihood of the barden incrasing.

HONGKONG, SEPTEMBER 3RD, 1908:
WE End occasion yesterday to allude to the protests voiced in Japan against the increasing burden of armaments. It may be remenrbored that a month ago it was telegraphically reported that 144 members of the British House of Commons had addressed to the Prime Minister a plea for reduction in expenditure on armaments. Yesterday's Mail brings the text of the remonstrance. The signatories remind Mr. ASQUITH of his Budget statement for the year 1906 7 in which he broadly surveyed the financial situation of the country in the hope that it would impress upon the House,
